TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to

-   (1) a compound of formula (I)

-    wherein all symbols have the same meanings as defined below, and -   (2) a cysLT₂ receptor antagonist comprising the compound of formula     (I).

BACKGROUND ART

Bronchial asthma is a pathological symptom, in which airway is contracted by airway contraction and inflammation, causing paroxysmal cough, stridor, and breathing difficulty. The drugs for it include steroidal agents for inhalation, which have a strong antiinflammatory effect, β stimulants and theophyllines which are bronchodilating agents, antiallergic agents which inhibit the effect of mediators, etc.

It is known that various chemical mediators are involved in bronchial asthma, among which cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are known to have approximately 1000 times stronger contractile effect on airway as compared to histamine. Moreover, cysLTs promote induction of airway inflammation, typically inflammation cell invasion, airway hypersensitivity and mucus secretion in airway, and they are deeply involved in basic pathology of bronchial asthma.

CysLTs are a physiological active substance in a live body, which is a metabolic product from arachidonic acid by 5-lipoxygenase. CysLTs have at least two types of receptors, and cysLT₁ receptor and cysLT₂ receptor have been cloned so far (Nature, 399, 789-793, 1999, J. Biol., Chem., 275, 30531-30536, 2000). CysLT₁ receptor is mainly expressed in airway smooth muscle and it is deeply concerned with the development of bronchial asthma (Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 163, 226-233, 2001). Those leukotriene (LT) receptor antagonists which are now placed on the market, e.g. pranlukast hydrate, montelukast sodium and zafirlukast, and are selective cysLT₁ receptor antagonist (Nature, 399, 789-793, 1999), are useful agents for the treatment of bronchial asthma, which improves various kinds of symptoms and respiratory functions. However, it is known the LT receptor antagonists placed on the market are more effective for mild or moderate symptoms than for severe symptoms. It is also known that there exist some non-responders with mild or moderate symptoms on whom the pharmaceutical agent does not have effect.

On the other hand, it is reported that the ligands for the newly cloned cysLT₂ receptor are LTC₄, LTD₄ and LTE₄, and cysLT₂ receptor is expressed in the bronchial smooth muscle like CysLT₁ receptor (J. Biol. Chem., 275, 30531-30536, 2000, Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 164, 2098-2101, 2001). However, the functions and roles of cysLT₂ receptor in the pathological conditions have not been elucidated yet.

Therefore, provided that cysLT₂ receptor, as well as cysLT₁ receptor, is concerned with contraction of bronchial smooth muscle, airway inflammation, reactive airway disease and mucus secretion in airway, by antagonizing cysLT₂ receptor, it is conceivably possible to produce an agent for respiratory diseases which is more useful than existing LT receptor antagonists. For example, it is expected that such agent shows an efficacy on more severe bronchial asthma patients and non-responders of existing LT receptor antagonist. Moreover, it is also reported that cysLT₂ receptor is expressed in heart, brain and peripheral blood leukocyte, etc. in addition to bronchial smooth muscle (J. Biol. Chem., 275, 30531-30536, 2000). Therefore, cysLT₂ receptor antagonists are expected to be agents for the treatment of cardiovascular, central nervous system and various inflammatory diseases.

In Molecular Pharmacology (United States), 2000, 58, p. 1601-1608, it is disclosed that a compound of formula (A)

antagonizes both cysLT₁ and cysLT₂.

And in the gazette of JP9-169712, it is disclosed that a benzoic acid derivative of formula (B)

wherein, R^(1B) is hydrogen, alkyl having up to 6 carbons, or substituted phenyl; P^(B) and Q^(B) is each oxygen, sulfur or a bond; X^(B) is oxygen, sulfur or —CONH—; T^(B) is ethylene, oxygen, sulfur or a bond; Y^(B) is —COOH, —NHSO₂R^(3B) or CONHSO₂R^(3B); Z^(B) is —COOH, COR^(4B), —CO(CH₂)_(pB)CO₂H, —O(CH₂)_(pB)CO₂H, —S(CH₂)_(pB)CO₂H, NO₂, —CONHW^(B)CO₂H or NHW^(B)CO₂H; mB is an integer from 0 to 6; and nB is an integer from 0 to 4 shows leukotriene antagonistic action, that is effective for the treatment of respiratory diseases, and that it antagonizes both cysLT₁ receptor and cysLT₂ receptors.

Also, in the program of the 98th American Thoracic Society (2002, D38, F4) it is described that DUO-LT, which is a compound whose clinical target is ischemic diseases and inflammatory diseases, antagonizes both cysLT₁ and cysLT₂ receptors.

In the specification of WO 2004/052839, it is disclosed that a compound of formula (C)

wherein all symbols have the same meaning as described in the specification, has an antagonizing effect against CysLT₂ receptors and the compound is useful for the treatment and/or prevention of cardiovascular diseases such as angina pectoris, cardiac infarction, etc.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention

As described hereinbefore, those LT receptor antagonists which are placed on the market are known to act on mild and moderate symptoms of bronchial asthma and it is also known that there exist some non-responders among patients with mild and moderate symptoms, to whom the agent are not effective. Therefore, those agents for respiratory diseases showing higher efficacy than the existing agents have been hoped for.

[The Method for the Preparation of the Compound of the Present Invention]

The compound of formula (I) of the present invention may be prepared by known methods, for example, a method combining the following methods and/or the methods described in Examples which are appropriately modified methods described in Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, 2nd Edition (Richard C. Larock, John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1999), etc. In each following method for the preparation, salts of the starting materials may be used. The above salts of the compound (I) may be used.

a) Among the compound of formula (I), the compound wherein

is a ring represented by

R¹ is carboxy and R² is carboxy or 5-tetrazolyl, i.e. the compound of formula (I-1)

(wherein R²⁰⁰ is carboxy or 5-tetrazolyl, and the other symbols have the same meanings as hereinbefore) may be prepared according to the following method.

The compound of formula (I-1) may be prepared by subjecting the compound of formula (II)

(wherein R²⁰⁰⁻¹ is carboxy or 5-tetrazolyl protected by a protective group, R³⁻¹ and E¹ have the same meaning as R³ and E, in which the carboxy, hydroxy, amino or mercapto included in the groups represented by R³⁻¹ and E¹ are protected if necessary) to a reaction with the ompound of formula (III) X-D¹-CO₂R¹⁰⁰⁻¹  (III) (wherein X is a leaving group such as, for example, halogen, mesyloxy, tosyloxy, oxo, etc., and R¹⁰⁰⁻¹ is a protective group of carboxy, D¹ has the same meaning as D, and carboxy, hydroxy, amino or mercapto included in the groups represented by R³⁻¹ and E¹ are protected if necessary.), optionally followed by subjecting to a deprotection reaction of the protective groups.

The reaction of the compound wherein X-D¹ is an active acyl group among the compounds of formula (III), i.e. the compound of formula (III-1)

(wherein D¹⁻¹ represents a spacer consisting of 1-7 of atom in the main chain, in which the carboxy, hydroxy, amino or mercapto in the groups represented by R³⁻¹ and E¹ are protected if necessary, and the other symbols have the same meanings as hereinbefore) and the compound of formula (II), may be carried out by, for example,

-   (1) a method using acid halide, -   (2) a method using mixed anhydride, -   (3) a method using a condensing agent, etc.

To explain these methods specifically;

-   (1) the method using acid halide is carried out, for example, by     subjecting a carboxylic acid to a reaction with an acid-halogenating     agent (e.g. oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride, etc.) in an organic     solvent (e.g. chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether,     tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without a solvent, at a temperature of     about −20° C. to a refluxing temperature, and then subjecting the     thus obtained acid halide to a reaction with an amine in the     presence of a base (e.g. pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline,     dimethylaminopyridine, diisopropylethylamine, etc.) in an organic     solvent (e.g. chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl ether,     tetrahydrofuran, acetonitorile, acetic ether, etc.) at a temperature     of about 0 to 40° C. Also, the reaction may be carried out by     subjecting the thus obtained acidic halide to a reaction with an     amine in an organic solvent (e.g. dioxane, tetrahydrofuran,     dichloromethane, etc.) using an alkali aqueous solution (e.g. an     aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide, etc.) in     the presence or absence of a phase-transfer catalyst (e.g.     tetraammonium salts such as tetrabutylammoniumchloride,     triethylbenzylammoniumchloride, tri-n-octylmethylammoniumchloride,     trimethyldecylammoniumchloride, tetramethylammoniumbromide, etc.) at     a temperature between about 0 to 40° C.; -   (2) the method using mixed anhydride is carried out, for example, by     subjecting a carboxylic acid to a reaction with an acid halide (e.g.     pivaloyl chloride, tosyl chloride, mesylchloride, etc.) or an acid     derivative (e.g. chloroethyl formate, chloroisobutyl formate, etc.)     in an organic solvent (e.g. chloroform, dichloromethane, diethyl     ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without a solvent in the presence     of a base (pyridine, triethylamine, dimethylaniline,     dimethylaminopyridine, diisopropylethylamine, etc.) at a temperature     of 0 to 40° C., and then subjecting the thus obtained mixed     anhydride to a reaction with an amine in an organic solvent (e.g.     chloroform, methylene chloride, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran,     etc.) at a temperature of about 0 to 40° C.; -   (3) the method using a condensing agent is carried out, for example,     by subjecting a carboxylic acid to a reaction with an amine in an     organic solvent (e.g. chloroform, methylene chloride,     dimethylformamide, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) or without     a solvent, in the presence or absence of a base (e.g. pyridine,     triethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylaminopyridine, etc.), using     a condensing agent (e.g. 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC),     1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethyl amino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC),     1,1′-carbonyldulmidazole (CDI), 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide,     1-propylphosphonic acid cyclic anhydride (PPA), etc.) in the     presence or absence of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (1-HOBt) at a     temperature of about 0 to 40° C.

The reactions (1), (2) and (3) are desirably carried out under atmosphere of inert gas (argon, nitrogen, etc.) and anhydrous conditions.

The reaction of the compound of formula (III), wherein X-D¹ possesses formyl group, i.e. the compound of formula (III-2)

(wherein all symbols have the same meaning as described hereinbefore) and the compound of formula (II) is carried out, for example, in an organic solvent (e.g. tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dichloroethane, dichloromethane, dimethylformamide, acetic acid, methanol, ethanol or a mixture thereof, etc.), in the presence of a reducing agent (sodium triacetoxyborohydride, sodium cyanoborohydride, sodium borohydride, zinc borohydride, diusobutylaluminum hydride, etc.) at a temperature of about 0 to 40° C., or in a solvent (e.g. ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether, etc.; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, etc.; benzenes such as benzene, toluene, etc.; ketones such as acetone, methylethyl ketone, etc.; nitriles such as acetonitrile etc.; amides such as dimethylformamide etc.; water, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, or a mixture of two or more thereof, etc.), in the presence of a catalyst (e.g. palladium carbon, palladium black, palladium hydroxide, platinum oxide, Raney nickel, etc.), under hydrogen atmosphere of normal or compressed pressure, at a temperature of about 0 to 200° C.

The deprotection reaction of the protective groups of carboxy, hydroxy, amino, mercapto or tetrazolyl is well-known and includes, for example, (1) alkali hydrolysis, (2) a deprotection under acidic conditions, (3) a deprotection reaction by hydration, (4) a deprotection of silyl group, (5) a deprotection reaction using a metal, (6) a deprotection reaction using a metal complex, etc.

To explain these methods concretely,

-   (1) the deprotection reaction by alkali hydrolysis is carried out,     for example, in an organic solvent (methanol, tetrahydrofuran,     1,4-dioxane, etc.) using a hydroxide of alkali metals (sodium     hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc.), hydroxide     of alkaline earth metals (barium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide,     etc.), carbonate (sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc.) or a     solution thereof or a mixture thereof at a temperature of 0 to 40°     C.; -   (2) the deprotection reaction under acidic conditions is carried     out, for example, in an organic solvent (dichloromethane,     chloroform, dioxane, ethyl acetate, anisole, etc.), in an organic     acid (acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid,     p-toluenesulfonic acid, etc.) or an inorganic acid (hydrochloric     acid, sulfuric acid, etc.) or a mixture thereof (hydrobromic     acid/acetic acid, etc.) in the presence or absence of     2,2,2-trifluoroethanol at a temperature of 0 to 100° C.; -   (3) the deprotection reaction by hydration is, for example, carried     out in a solvent (e.g. ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane,     dimethoxyethane, diethyl ether, etc.; alcohols such as methanol,     ethanol, etc.; benzenes such as benzene, toluene, etc.; ketones such     as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.; nitrites such as acetonitrile     etc.; amides such as dimethylformamide etc.; water, ethyl acetate,     acetic acid or a mixture of two or more thereof, etc.) in the     presence of a catalyst (palladium-carbon, palladium black, palladium     hydroxide, platinum oxide, Raney nickel, etc.) under the atmosphere     of hydrogen of normal or suppressed pressure, or in the presence of     ammonium formate at a temperature of 0 to 200° C.; -   (4) the deprotection of a silyl group is, for example, carried out     in a water-miscible organic solvent (tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile,     etc.) using tetrabutylammonium fluoride at a temperature of 0 to 40°     C.; -   (5) the deprotection reaction using a metal is carried out, for     example, in an acidic solvent (acetic acid, a buffer of pH 4.2 to     7.2 or a mixture of the solution thereof and an organic solvent such     as tetrahydrofuran etc.) in the presence of zinc powder at a     temperature of 0 to 40° C. optionally under sonication; -   (6) the deprotection reaction using a metal complex is carried out,     for example, in an organic solvent (dichloromethane,     dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile,     dioxane, ethanol, etc.), water or a mixture thereof, in the presence     of a trap reagent (tributyltin hydride, triethylsilane, dimedone,     morpholine, diethylamine, pyrrolidine, etc.), an organic acid     (acetic acid, formic acid, 2-ethylhexane, etc.) and/or a salt of an     organic acid (sodium 2-ethylhexanoate, potassium 2-ethylhexanoate,     etc.) in the presence or absence of a phosphine reagent     (triphenylphosphine etc.) using a metal complex (palladium     tetrakistriphenylphosphine (0), palladium     bis(triphenylphosphosphine)dichloride (II), palladium acetate (II),     rhodium tris(triphenylphosphine)chloride (I), etc. at a temperature     of 0 to 40° C.

The compound of formula (I) may be labeled with isotope (e.g. ³H, ¹⁴C, ³⁵S, ¹²⁵I, etc.).

The toxicity of the compound of formula (I) is very low for pharmaceutical use.

The compound of formula (I), an N-oxide thereof, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof antagonizes cysLT₂ receptor, and therefore, it is useful as an inhibitor of airway contraction, inhibitor of infiltration of inflammatory cells (e.g. eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, etc.), an inhibitor of mucus secretion or an inhibitor of increased airway hyperreactivity. Also, the compound of formula (I), an N-oxide thereof, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof is useful for the prevention and/or treatment of those diseases in which cysLT₂ receptor is involved, for example, respiratory diseases (e.g. bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, lung emphysema, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia including interstitial pneumonitis, etc.), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), allergic rhinitis, sinusitis including acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, etc., and the like), and as an expectorant or an antitussive agent. Furthermore, the compound of formula (I) of the present invention, an N-oxide thereof, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof is useful as an agent for the improvement of respiratory functions.

The respiratory function is defined as, e.g. the function of taking air in and out (i.e. function of pulmonary capacity), the function of taking oxygen from lungs into blood and taking carbon dioxide from blood out of the body (i.e. function of oxygen exchange), and the function of respiratory resistance.

In the present invention, respiratory organs mean, body parts concerned with respiration e.g. airway, oral cavity, nasal cavity, nasal sinuses, trachea, bronchus, bronchiole, lungs, etc.

CysLT₂ receptor is also concerned with cardiovascular diseases, e.g. angina pectoris, cardiac infarction, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy (dilative cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, etc.), pericarditis, valvulitis, myocarditis, cardiac tamponade, low cardiac output syndrome, mitral stenosis, etc. The compound of formula (I), an N-oxide thereof, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof is useful for the treatment and/or prevention of these diseases.

In the present invention, non-responders are defined as those patients to whom existing LT receptor antagonists give insufficient effect or no effect. Since the agent for the treatment of the present invention is more useful for respiratory diseases than an existing LT receptor antagonist, it is preferable to administer it to non-responders and those patients with severe disorders in respiratory functions (e.g. severe bronchial asthma patients).

In the present invention, the measuring method of IC₅₀ values or Ki values of antagonizing effect against cysLT₂ receptor is not limited in particular, and it may be carried out by known methods. For example, it may be carried out according to the methods described in J. Biol. Chem., 275, 30531-30536, (2000), Mol. Pharmacol., 58, 1601-1608, (2000), or Biochem. Biophys. Res.

Each of the methods for the administration may be the same or different.

The other agents as described above may be low molecular compounds, high molecular protein, polypeptides, polynucleotides (DNA, RNA, genes), anti-sense, decoy, antibody, vaccines, etc. The dose of the other agents may be determined taking the clinically used dose as a reference appropriately. The ratio of the agent for the treatment of the present invention and the other agents may be determined according to the age, weight, route of administration, time of administration, the target disease, symptom or combination, etc. For example, approximately 0.01 to 100 of the other agents in weight ratio may be used versus the agent for the treatment of the present invention. One or more of the other agent(s) may be selected from the same group or different groups described hereafter, and may be administered alone or in combination thereof in optional ratios.

The effects of the compound of formula (I) of the present invention was illustrated by the following experiments, but the present invention is not limited to them.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 1 Effect on LTD₄-induced Increase of Intracellular Calcium

Expression cells of cysLT₂ receptor (HEK293) were seeded in a 96-well plate each containing 1×10⁵ cells. The cells were cultured for 24 hours in a 5% CO₂ at 37° C. using DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium). The cells were incubated in 7.5 μM Fura2-AM, 20 mM HEPES (2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl]ethanesulfonic acid) and 2.5 mM probenecid for approximately 30 minutes at 37° C.

The compound of the present invention was administered 180 seconds before LTD₄ stimulation, and the reaction induced by 100 nM LTD₄ was measured in time course for 90 seconds. The effect of the compound of the present invention was evaluated by maximum fluorescence intensity, and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) was calculated on each compound.

As a result, the compound of formula (I) showed an IC₅₀ value of under 10 μM. For example, the IC₅₀ value of the compound of Example 12 was 101 nmol/L, and that of the compound of Example 25 was 30 nmol/L.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 2 Effect on LTC₄-induced Contraction in Guinea Pig Trachea

Four Hartley male guinea pigs (Charles River Laboratories Japan, Inc.) per group were used in the present experiment. The guinea pigs were sacrificed by blood loss from carotid artery, and their tracheas were removed immediately. The tracheas were cut in a zigzag way with a razor to prepare a specimen with 3 mm width. The specimen was kept at 37° C. and suspended in a 10 mL Magnus tube containing Tyrode solution (NaCl 137 mM, KCl 2.68 mM, MgCl₂ 1.05 mM, CaCl₂ 1.80 mM, NaHCO₃ 11.9 mM, NaH₂PO₄ 0.417 mM and glucose 5.55 mM) aerated with mixed gas (95% O₂+5% CO₂) at 37° C. The tracheal specimen was given 1 G of tension and washed with Tyrode solution 3 times every 15 minutes. When the response being reached a steady state, the specimen was incubated in 45 mM serine-borate complex and 3 mM cysteine before LTC₄ stimulation. The contraction of trachea induced by LTC₄ was measured as the change of isometric tension by an isometric transducer. The compound of the present invention was administered 15 minutes before LTC₄ stimulation, and the time course of the tension induced by LTC₄ was observed. The rate of trachea contraction induced by LTC₄ was measured from the maximum response at the final concentration 1 mM of acetylcholine to calculate it on each compound. The antagonistic effect of the compound of the present invention against LT was determined by Schild plot analysis giving the pA₂ values.

The results showed that the compound of formula (I) inhibited the contraction of guinea pig trachea significantly, and the pA₂ value was 6 or more. For example, the pA₂ value of the compound of Example 12 was 8.5±0.1 and that of the compound of Example 25 was 9.2±0.3.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE 3 Effect on OVA-induced Bronchocontraction Involved in Endogenous LT in Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs were actively sensitized by intraperitoneal administration of 1 ml of saline containing 1 mg ovalbumin (OVA) containing 5×10⁹ killed Bordetella pertussis cells. Two or three weeks after the sensitization, the guinea pigs were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (75 mg/kg, i.p.), and a polyethylene tube was inserted into the trachea which had been incised. For administration of the compound of the present invention and OVA, the jugular vein was cannulated. One side of the tracheal cannula was connected to a constant volume respirator and the animals were artificially ventilated with a contsant volume of 5 mL at a frequency of 70 strokes/min. Bronchocontraction was induced by intravenous administration of OVA, and airway resistance was measured by Konzett & Rössler method. In order to avoid the influence of cyclooxygenase metabolites and histamine, indomethacin (5 mg/kg/mL) and pyrilamine (1 mg/kg/mL) were intravenously administered 3 and 1 minute(s) before OVA challenge. Bronchocontraction was measured until the time of 20 minutes after OVA challenge, and brochocontraction rate was calculated with time wherein the maximal insufflation pressure obtained by completely clamping off the trachea is set to 100%.

It was revealed from the results that the compound of formula (I) suppresses bronchocontraction significantly, and is useful for the treatment of respiratory diseases, particularly of bronchial asthma.
